This zine is more of a primer for how to do spraypainting without getting in trouble. For being such at Do It Yourself, handcrafted work, the media in which they enclose the methods for making it is really polished. I mean, this piece definitely looks professionally laid out, which is nice for someone trying to find straight-forward instruction, but it leaves me wondering what the impetus for placing the magazine in that style was. By far, this is one of the best DIY zines I’ve ever read, as it goes deeply into instructions without making it an exercise in tedium. You can get a copy of this zine at Girl + Distro, which can be found at http://www.undoonga.com/sassafras. Try to e-mail thewallsarealive@hotmail.com , but I am honestly not sure if the address still works.
